Spicy Black Bean Soup | Dietitian Debbie Dishes Do you have a couple cans of black beans hanging out in the back of your pantry that have been collecting dust? It’s time to brush them off and put them to good use in this vegan one pot black bean soup! You can whip this soup up in just about 30 minutes with little effort since most of the steps just involve dumping things into your pot. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you may need to dirty your blender too, but this soup is still super simple to make. 

What are the health benefits of eating black beans?

  • Like other legumes, beans are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. In fact, a 1 cup serving of black beans has 15 grams of protein!
  • Speaking of fiber, a bowl of this soup provides up to 1/2 of your daily needs for fiber (25-35 g/day). Getting enough fiber in your diet can help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.
  • Black beans are a great source of potassium which is important for regulating your blood pressure. 
  • Many Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diet which is important to note since magnesium deficiency has been associated with cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, hypertension, and diabetes. Regularly incorporating foods that are high in magnesium in your diet like black beans will help you meet the recommended intake for magnesium.

Tips for making this vegan one pot black bean soup

  • Like most soups, this black bean soup gets cooked up in one large pot which means fewer dishes to wash!
  • This soup requires less than 15 ingredients; most of which you likely already have at home! Fridge looking bare? You can probably still whip up this tasty soup since you basically need just a few canned goods and spices.
  • I like to partially puree this soup because I like it to be chunky but you can definitely puree it smooth if you prefer. Don’t skip the pureeing step because it helps thicken the soup!
  • To serve, add a dollop of vegan sour cream, chopped cilantro, jalapeno, salsa, crumbled tortilla chips, etc. Honestly, whatever toppings you may use on a taco go great on this soup!

This soup is…

Vegan, gluten free, and super simple to make!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 15.5 oz cans black beans
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste if needed

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven, heat oil, pepper, and onion over medium high heat for 5 minutes or until onion begins to soften and become translucent.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.
  • Add the broth, black beans, tomatoes, and red wine vinegar. Stir well.
  • Add the bay leaf, oregano, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Allow soup to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some beans/vegetables whole. (You can also transfer 1/2 of the soup to a blender and puree it until smooth and then add back into the pot.) Bring to a simmer again for another 10-15 minutes or until soup has reached desired consistency.
  • Serve with sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, avocado, etc. 

Notes

Recipe makes about 5 1/2 - 6 cups of soup depending on how long you simmer it as it thickens the longer you cook it over the stove.

    I’m convinced black beans were created just for the purpose of soups and chilis 😉

    I’ve been having a few troubles in the kitchen as well! This bean chili, though, looks fantastic!

    thanks for a great smelling recipe. It is cooking on the stove now. I doubled the recipe to have some to freeze – but I have FAR more than the expected 3, 1 cup servings/ recipe. If the recipe calls for us to remove 3 cups to purée and then stir back into the rest of the soup – it is impossible that it would only make 3 single cup servings. Are the suggested servings off – or the calories? Thanks

      I’ve been meaning to make this recipe again to re-measure that. I think that it was actually closer to 4-5 cups total for the recipe. When I took the 3 cups out to puree, there was only 1 or 2 cups left in the pot. I’ll make sure to correct soon! Calories/nutrition info will be adjusted as well. Thanks!

    Why need to take 3 cups out for puree?

      You can purée all of the soup if you prefer it to be smooth. I like chunky soups so I only puréed 3 cups and added it to the rest.
